Wrapping up....

Well. I have now been in Hawaii for approximately 3 months now. It has been fun for the most part and I really wish I could stay longer.  But doing so would be ungrateful as I shouldn't forget that my stay had already been extended for another month.

So time to just stuck it all up and absorb as much as I can, and hopefully I am able to maintain all that I am now, as well as further improve for the better.

I have a new set of goals now. Some that were carried forward, some that are building on previous goals and let's not forget some new ones.

With only weeks to go to the new year,  i'm just getting a head start on my goals for the next year and with a little drive, it is my aim to be able to accomplish these goals.

Serious post this time. More on fun stuff when the time comes in the future =)

Official Retirement

So I now announce the confirmed retirement of my faithful watch that has been with me for the past one year.

Value for money, considering all the hurt that I put him through. The rough handling,  the animal attacks, the frequent water immersions, the occasional chemical spills...

Badly scratched up, I know. But he can rest now.

And so.....

His successor!!!!

Here's to many more years of not so careful handing and harsh working conditions. 

Training in Hawaii - Day 4

Ok so I'm about to start my fourth day here. I won't say that I've started work cause I don't feel that way yet. It's the second day reporting for work but so far it has been an orientation process, and that, in my book, doesn't count as work.

I had my first dolphin encounter yesterday and it was awesome. The animal was awesome, their techniques were awesome, their training results were awesome, trainer/presenter was awesome... God everything was awesome. In that order, incidentally. Lol.

I just so looking forward to learning everything I can here and just being the best I can be. I just keep recalling this line from one of Dean Koontz, where this certain bartender absorbs everything like a sponge but doesn't leech anything out when squeezed. That's what I aim to be as my output here seems to be unappreciated and to some point resented for some people. Any output of mine shall be filtered thoroughly through a stringent social and need-to-know filtration process.

Anyway, another aim of mine is to keep a log on stuff I've learned and blog as frequently as possible. A picture a day, if possible.

So much for aims. I wish the 'real' stuff will start soon.
